Chapter 359: His Only Present
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Suddenly… the whole screen turned pitch black.
A power failure!
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Ye Ling was speechless.
Little Tong Hua was speechless.
The three of them looked at each other, at a loss of what to do. The power failure also meant that the wifi connection got cut off. Tong Hua had a faster reaction and immediately switched to his 4G. However, it was still too late. In the end, they were all killed by the opposing team and lost the game.
By a dramatic turn of events, the power came back in less than ten minutes. It was unsure which part suffered a short circuit just now.
Little Tong Hua had no more temper left.
Shen Qianshu was so awkward that she was unable to start a conversation.
This… is really not giving any face.
Is the God also stopping Ye Ling from winning?
Ye Ling’s expression was cold and dark like a block of ice that could not be melted. Shen Qianshu was nervous and frightened. To liven up the atmosphere, she snapped her fingers and said, “This kind of recreational activity is great. It can help to relieve our stress and relax our bodies and minds. Next time, our family’s daily activity is to play this game together before sleep.”
Little Tong Hua clutched his heart and walked lifelessly and unsteadily back to his room. “My heart is in pain. I need some time alone.”
“Ah, Baby…”
Little Tong Hua acted like an old man, wobbled all the way to his bedroom, and closed the door. Out of sight, out of mind. Shen Qianshu touched her nose and was met with Ye Ling’s frosty eyes once she looked up. She shivered in fear and started to praise him like how she always did. “Master, your talent in gaming is so high. You managed to get the MVP after only playing for a few rounds. So impressive!”
“Am I amazing, or is he amazing?” Ye Ling asked arrogantly.
“Of course it’s you!” Shen Qianshu replied without hesitation.
Hahaha, you are not as amazing as my baby.
The number of rounds my baby lost today is even greater than the total number of times he lost since he started gaming.
Ye Ling was finally satisfied after hearing her praise. “Why did you download the game? Did Zhong Ran help you play?” Shen Qianshu asked curiously.
“Yeah.”
“Zhong Ran is really… loyal!” Shen Qianshu could sense that Ye Ling was fuming and thus abruptly changed the word amazing to loyal. She broke out into a smile, and her gaze was soft and gentle. “Master, for the matter regarding Gu Xie, thank you.”
Ye Ling’s face darkened, and his amber eyes turned frosty. Shen Qianshu was slow for three seconds, before saying hurriedly, “I am thanking you on behalf of Xiaojuan.”
“Yeah.”
Shen Qianshu smiled. She could decipher his temper already. Ye Ling was difficult to get along with but was easy to please. At least to her, he was very easy to please. She randomly brought up some bits and pieces of work matters.
“Lu Mengxi has entered Gubelin?”
“Yes, Master, you know her?”
A flash of danger swept past Ye Ling’s eyes, and he subconsciously drummed his fingers on the table. “Have minimal interaction with her.”
“We do not have many interactions in the first place.” They were even… enemies. Lu Mengxi did not have a good impression of her. Regarding the trivial disputes between women, she felt that there was not a need to tell Ye Ling. She could handle them herself.
Whether was it like or hate, the feelings were mutual.
“Jonah has returned to the country today,” Ye Ling said calmly. “This debt, I will slowly collect it back for you.”
“Ok!”
Shen Qianshu’s mind wandered elsewhere, and her gaze landed on his wrist. Jonah’s matter had passed, and she felt assured with the way Ye Ling was handling it and had no suggestions to give. “Master, this bracelet, let me redesign it for you!”
It was really ugly!
Being a rectangular rock that looked like a mahjong tile, it was not very compatible with him.
Ye Ling’s gaze landed deeply on her face. This was the only thing that she gave him. Mu Yuan and a few others praised that it was intricate, without actually meaning it, while Ye Yifan directly said that it was ugly. It was not suitable for a man like him to wear, especially when the bracelet was stringed together by pearls. It was really unsuitable.
But he was reluctant to part with it.
Although it was quite ugly, it was, after all, his only present from her.
